A 25-year-old Danish research scholar has been allegedly molested by an autorickshaw driver outside railway station. The driver has been arrested, police said.
The Danish national on Sunday left the country “in a state of shock”, a police official said. “The accused, Vicky Kumar, is a resident of city’s Islamabad locality,” ASI Deepak Kumar said.
The woman had reached the city on Friday night for a research project. When she came out of the railway station she was attacked by the driver, who also tore her clothes, police said.
Police said that the foreign national raised an alarm and hit the man after which he fled from the scene. A case was registered early on Saturday.
“The victim came to stay here for a few weeks for a research project regarding different religions,” the SI said. The victim, however, has left for Denmark early this morning and the police has provided her with a copy of the FIR to report to the Denmark Embassy in Delhi, he said.
“She appeared to be in a state of shock and will probably need to be counselled,” he said. The accused has a past history of teasing women visitors in the city, Kumar said.
